Les Kiss reaps rewards of derring-do approach to Australia’s team selection

Issac Henry, Carlo Tizzano, Charlie Cale and Massimo de Lutiis repay faith shown by Wallabies coach and highlight squad’s strength in depth

The Wallabies have problems, but they are of the good variety. In the return Test against Japan in Townsville on Saturday, they produced their most promising performance in 12 months, and not a moment too soon.

The 56-17 victory included a professional, five-tries-to-none second half and a number of standout performances that will have the new coach, Les Kiss, wondering just how to craft this side into the best version of itself.
